Papaveroline
Papaveroline is a Fyn tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.20 mM, Mg2+-ATPase inhibitor, K+-activated pNPPase inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.51 mM, and apoptosis inducer. Papaveroline binds to the active site of Fyn tyrosine kinase and forms stable interactions with pocket amino acid residues. Papaveroline induces cell apoptosis, produces pycnotic and fragmented cell nuclei, and does not reduce intracellular ATP levels. Papaveroline is a dopamine-derived neurotoxin candidate associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Papaveroline can be used in the research of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Biological Activity
|
Na+,K+-ATPase 0.2 mM (IC50, rat brain microsomal) |
K+-activated pNPPase 1.51 mM (IC50, rat brain microsomal) |
Papaveroline inhibits rat brain microsomal Na+,K+-ATPase with an IC50 of 0.20 mM and inhibits rat brain microsomal Mg2+-ATPase with an I50 of 0.40 mM[2].
Papaveroline inhibits rat brain microsomal K+-activated pNPPase with an IC50 of 1.51 mM, which is less potent than its inhibition of rat brain microsomal Na+,K+-ATPase[2].
Papaveroline (75-100% inhibition; 10 min)-mediated inhibition of rat brain microsomal Na+,K+-ATPase is freely reversible, as enzyme activity returns to control levels following washing and resuspension of the enzyme[2].
Papaveroline (200-400 μM) acts as a simple linear noncompetitive inhibitor of rat brain microsomal Na+,K+-ATPase with respect to ATP, exhibiting an apparent Ki of 380.00 μM[2].
Papaveroline (300 μM) decreases the apparent affinity of rat brain microsomal Na+,K+-ATPase for Na+ by increasing the K0.5 by 65% without altering cooperative binding at the Na+ site or the enzyme's Vmax[2].
Papaveroline inhibits beef cardiac Na+,K+-ATPase with an IC50 of 0.76 mM, which is less potent than its inhibition of rat brain microsomal Na+,K+-ATPase[2].
Papaveroline (100-500 μM; 18 h) induces apoptosis in the majority of human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells at 100 μM and 250 μM (69.19% and 83.07% apoptotic cells, respectively) and shifts to mostly necrosis at 500 μM (67.88% necrotic cells)[3].
Papaveroline (250 μM; 3 h) does not significantly reduce intracellular ATP levels in human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, with a measured concentration of 4.79 nmol/mg protein after 3 h incubation[3].
